Guest Interview : Danja Lewis
Question on Linked IN about data leakage - I would be really interested to see how this information can actually be extracted. Many people say they’ve uploaded data, but getting it back out or even locating it again is incredibly difficult. It often feels like it disappears into a black box.
Danja can be found at AIUC.global and on LinkedIn.
